An ESPN director died Saturday after suffering a medical emergency while working the NCAA Baseball Super Regional tournament in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the outlet announced Sunday.
Kyle Brown, 42, was a 16-year employee at the network.
ESPN’s statement described the father of four as a “deeply admired” and “highly accomplished” member of their production team who had captured two Sports Emmy Awards during his career.
Brown, who played baseball as a pitcher at Ohio State, worked in a number of sports, including baseball, basketball, Monday Night Football and college football, the statement said.
Brown is survived by wife Megan; their four children, 14-year-old Makayla, 11-year-old Carson, 9-year-old Camden, and 6-year-old Madyn, and a beloved dog Rookie.
“He will be truly missed,” the statement also said, adding the network’s appreciation and understanding during a difficult time for their team.

Condolences to his family. As an employee of ESPN he was most likely forced to get the rushed medical treatment that is totally safe and has no side effects (/s). As a young male he is in the group that has suffered the majority of sudden cardiac effects. Government meddling in so-called health care has not only been devastating for individuals receiving the “treatment” but their families as well.
And, another one down and another one gone. Another one bites the dust…..
Fauci gets another one.
Is “suddenly died” code for vaxxxed?
